TWTW: Boise Takes Out Utah State, Bowling In Vegas...?

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes, ran for another and 9th-ranked Boise State beat Utah State 50-14 in their last Western Athletic Conference game ever.

Here's Coach Pete on the win...


So, now it looks like Boise is headed to either the Las Vegas or the Holiday Bowls. Since Nevada beat Louisiana Tech, it looks like the Wolfpack are heading to San Francisco to feed the world...

The Broncos could possibly be in the Las Vegas Bowl to play the University of Utah who has already accepted an invite to the game. The Holiday Bowl remains a possibility if the Pac-10 is unable to add any more bowl eligible teams.

The University of Washington can still become bowl eligible if they are able to defeat Washington State on Saturday night. A win would likely put them into the Holiday Bowl and would likely send the Broncos to the Las Vegas Bowl.

TWTW: Boise Takes Governor's Cup

As they still try to over-impress by blowing out Idaho...

Kellen Moore threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, Chris Potter had a 76-yard punt return touchdown the first time Boise State touched the ball, and the Broncos beat Idaho 52-14.

Boise State, now 9-0/5-0 in the WAC, ran their win streak to 23 games...

Biggest question ((again)) is whether or not the Broncos did enough to keep from slipping in the alphabet standings...

Here's Coach Pete, thanks to our friends at KTVB-TV...

TWTW: Why Are We Still Following Boise State...?

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

The HQ is now a firm believer that, even with all the style points in the world unless TCU loses, the Broncos are out on their ass when it comes to a BCS at-large bid.

It was another stomp-and-go today on the blue turf against Hawai'i.

Bryan Moniz was held to 154 yards passing total as the Broncos pounded the Warriors 42-7. Kellen Moore completed 19 straight at one point... 507 yards passing on the day in total.

The blue-turfed folks now are on top of the Mountain West Conference...

Yippee...

Zach Wolken is indoors with your highlights...

TWTW: Okay... Did Boise Do Enough...???

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

That's the question the HQ has to ask now since:
A) They didn't cover the number against Louisiana Tech and,
B) La Tech intercepted Kellen Moore for the second year in a row...

Here's your look back...

TWTW: Was It Enough Style Points...? Boise Wins By 48

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

The HQ would venture, for this week only, the answer is "yes."

Since Boise State's looking to be at the top of the alphabet soup for Week One, the 48-0 win over San Jose State might just be enough- considering everything else that's going on on the webpage this weekend.

But Nevada's loss won't help from this moment on...

Here's a bunch of Bronco offense...
Again...

Ryan Larrondo was indoors for this one...

TWTW: Style Points Again For Boise In Win Over Toledo...

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

But, then again, it is Toledo...
Is there such a thing as "style points" against Toledo...???

Jeremy Avery ran for three, Kellen Moore passed for three and the defense forced four turnovers to give Boise State an easy 57-14 win.

They now have the nation's longest win streak at 19...
Bully for them...

Here's your highlights...

TWTW: It's All About Style Points For Boise 59-0

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

The Broncos know what they have to do from now on...
Well, until they play Fresno and Nevada, anyway...

They have to completely destroy everyone they play...
Strike fast, strike hard, no mercy, sir...

This weekend, it wasn't an issue in a blowout of New Mexico State...
The HQ still is a proponent of outlawing Division 1 football in New Mexico...

TWTW: Boise Beats Beavers

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

And we all know that is not necessarily nice to beat a Beaver...

Oregon State head coach Mike Riley decided to paint his practice field blue to prepare for his trip to Boise. It didn't work all that well...

Kellen Moore went 19 of 27 passes for 288 yards, throwing for 3TD's. Doug Martin ran for 138 yards and Boise beat Oregon State 37-24. Boise State's home-winning streak is now at 57...

Here's Coach Pete's postgame presser... eventhough he thinks he is lucky to get out of this one alive...


If you're interested, first half raw video is here...

And here's a really cool piece on the tee-retriever at BSU, Cecil...
He's a pointer...

DEVELOPING: Boise Hangs On In DC 33-30 Over Hokies

((HT: KTVB-TV Boise))

Kellen Moore hit Austin Pettis with a 13-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 left and Number 3 Boise State beat Number 10 Virginia Tech 33-30.

The Broncos ran out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, then had to rally themselves to extend their winning streak to 15 games.

Tyrod Taylor passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 73 yards for the Hokies who, for the fourth straight season, took a deflating early season loss.

Here's some low-angle, raw video of the first three quarters...


Here's Mark Jobson's one-on-one with Chris Petersen after the game...

TWTW: Is This A Rivalry...???

((HT: KTVB-TV/Boise))

Especially when one team has won 11 straight in the series...???

Boise blows out Idaho, which they needed to, 63-25...

The Broncos came in averaging 59.4 points per home game against Idaho in five games this decade. The last three times the Broncos have played the Vandals in Boise, they've won 58-14, 70-35, 65-7 — and now Saturday's runaway.

Boise State has the nation's best home winning percentage this decade at .968 (61-2).

Boise QB Kellen Moore threw for three scores, and Idaho committed seven turnovers...
And the U, who was broadcasting the game to the rest of us, had technical difficulties early on and was having issues getting power to a generator...

The problem was eventually fixed...

Justin Corr got to stay indoors for this one...
